If you run Chrome or Firefox tests within a Docker container make sure you set capabilities so that the session is headless, e.g.:
capabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
'goog:chromeOptions': {
args: ['--no-sandbox', '--headless']
}
}
or Firefox:
capabilities: {
browserName: 'firefox',
'moz:firefoxOptions': {
args: ['-headless']
}
}
If you are looking for more sophisticated Docker container that allows you to run browser, check out the Docker Selenium project.
